Ireland full-back Girvan Dempsey has been ruled out of tomorrow's Six Nations clash against France at Lansdowne Road after a recurrence of a groin strain.
His place in the starting XV will be taken by Leicester's Geordan Murphy, who switches from the right wing with his spot being filled by Munster's John Kelly.
Rob Henderson has been drafted in as an extra replacement.
Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan said that the news was disappointing for Dempsey, who missed the match in Rome with the same injury.
"This means we'll have the same back line as against Italy and they did quite well. It's disappointing for Girvan but it does not upset us too much," he said.
